13. CLI Automatic Test

The idea was to create testing suite in way that build and run test scenarios will be simple as possible.

This suite include 4 basic stages:

• Connectivity package/module

  — This script include functions responsible for all remote activity (Expect) between DUT (Device Under Test) and test.

• Test scenario

  — It is simple XML file that describe the test session. Regression script will parse it and run defined test cases.

• Template file

  — Template files will include all (as much as possible) responses that we would expect from device while running interactive sessions.

• Regression script

  — This one will run interactively all commands on DUT that appears in XML scenario and compare the results to the existing template files.
